Bladder leaks during perimenopause or menopause? You are not alone. 💛
As estrogen declines, the pelvic floor muscles can weaken. These muscles support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. When they lose strength, you may notice leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising.
The good news? The pelvic floor responds very well to strengthening.
✔️ Consistent Kegel exercises can help improve mild symptoms.
✔️ Pelvic floor physiotherapy can assess muscle strength and teach proper technique.
✔️ Advanced non-invasive options like EMSELLA can stimulate thousands of pelvic floor contractions in one session to help retrain the muscles.
✔️ Hormone Therapy may provide additional benefits, speak to an expert provider.
Pelvic floor health isn’t just about bladder control, it supports core stability, sexual function, and overall confidence. If you’re noticing changes, it’s worth having the conversation. You don’t have to “just live with it.” 💬
